Come what may, the Shiv Sena will have its chief minister in the chair in the next elections, party chief Uddhav Thackeray vowed on Tuesday. He reiterated that the Sena would not only fight the Assembly polls alone, but would also go solo in the Lok Sabha elections, which he said could be brought forward to December this year.

Addressing the gathering that celebrated the 52nd foundation day of the party, Thackeray said the fight his party workers were putting up on the streets against a 'liar' government at the state and Centre, will be key to their electoral success in the coming days.
